well hi there all, just new at this game.. my husband and I are Kiwi's (But don't hold that against us) will be looking on this forum for heaps of ideas and tips.. looking at purchasing our first van.. not sure where to start as we want to make it our home for a couple of years till we hit the road.... any thoughts on size etc would be much appreciated.
with holidays season coming up.. I wish you all a safe and happy one.

Hi Ohtogo,
Kiwis huh?? dont give it another thought. WElcome to the family and forum.

Cheers Rod

Ohtogo.... but where??
This is the best educational forum you will encounter. The archives have plenty of excellent comments re caravaning.
Good luck, and don't forget to play a straight bat in order to hit that under arm ball out of the park.

Delar. Thats still embarrising. Dve.

Welcome to the forum Ohtogo.
You will gather heaps of info here, as well as the entertainment from those of us who think they are funny, dont we Delar.
If you are Kiwis say Fush & Chups for us.
As to your question regarding type of van, all you can do is research, research, and more research. Just when you think you have it worked out, something else comes along.
I would suggest talking to people in van parks with the types of vans you may be looking at. Dont be in a hurry. Also the caravan and camping shows cover most everything in vanning.

Oh no, more Kiwis - are you here yet or still across the ditch? We will probably throw things at you knowing that you are Kiwis, but don't take it personally, we will smile whilst we are doing it.

If I had known yesterday that you were looking for a van, I could have sold you a tidy looking unit that was parked in a street in Maroubra - ah well,you win some and you lose some.

By the way, welcome to the forum.

I did warn you

Yes still an embarrassment re the U/A ball. And it was Greg
Chappell who gave the order. Interesting .....he is now a selector and destined so they say to become the Chairman of selectors. It was a dirty rotten trick. But!!! hey one of my golfing mates is a Kiwi and we a great mates. I have always said that N.Z was the land mass that spit from the east coast of Australia and sailed over the Tasman. They say it is still the best part of Australia.
Now that is sure to get some comments going.
don't woooory be aaaappy
